We’re Related

So I have no idea how I found this app. I may have just been browsing on the iTunes App Store and it just popped up. We’re Related uses your ancestry.com family tree to find out which famous people you are distantly related to. It’s really actually pretty fun. About once or twice a week I get a little pop-up notification telling me that I have a new relative! Most of the time it’s SUPER distant…like so distant that I’m not even sure that the line it’s providing for me is correct. But every so often I find one where we’re like…5th cousins! Awesome!

Meet my cousin:

At least on my side, through my maternal branch, mine is traced correctly!
